    two bowls of macaroni and cheese
    Andrea P.

    Had lunch today , our waitress was amazing she was super quick and on top of the refills ! The scenery is beautiful if your trying to sit outside on the water , and they play great oldies music ! However the food is a little over priced and just didn't taste that great , the Mac and cheese was terrible didn't even have a consistency of mac and cheese the rice pilaf was hard as a rock stuck together , the bread with the shrimp sandwhich was gross , I just don't think the prices match the quality .

    Coconut Shrimp Basket ($5.00 up-charge from reg shrimp basket but SOOOOO worth it!)

    Love this spot! Right on the water with beautiful view and amazing seafood! Service is alway fast and the staff are amazingly friendly. Great little local spot and better priced than any other restaurant in sponge docks!

    1 star for poor service and extra star because we can empathize a bit due to very large party checking out when we arrived. This was our first time in Tarpon Springs and this place had been recommended by friends. We had a choice of seating, either at the bar or outside area which overlooks the water. We decided to sit at the bar. It took quite a few minutes for us to be acknowledged by the bartender and he never once asked if we wanted anything to eat although we both had very visible menus in front of us. We placed our order for 2 margs and also water but didn't hear us about the water? Not normally a big deal, but we're also new to Florida and not yet used to the heat. We ended up cashing out and leaving half of our drinks. We can always empathize when a server is very busy with a large party, but a little politeness & attention goes a long way. we realized we weren't the only ones underserved. We ended up going to Yiannis right around the corner

    When you park at the end of the road, this is one of the first restaurants on the water that you encounter, so we stopped. It was fairly empty on a Thursday at 1:00 so we could sit at waterfront. Our server was quick with drink orders and was very enthusiastic. The menu is varied, so something for everyone. Our food arrived in a timely manner. I ordered the chicken Caesar wrap and totally wished I had ordered something else. The sandwich was totally bland. Although there was lots of chicken, there was little or no dressing. Others had a Greek salad, a Caesar salad and a shrimp appetizer. Food was just all ok, nothing to want to come back and have again. Service was superior the entire time, which is truly important to me.

    We had lunch on the outside patio on the water with great views of the Greek fishing boats. We happen to pick a non Greek restaurant but we're able to sit right away. We had the Greek salad and the fish sandwich were good. The service was good.

    We were boating in Tarpon Springs and realized that we needed earlier reservations for the popular waterfront restaurants, so we were fortunate to find Dock's Waterfront with table availability for lunch. We shared the muscles and the chicken taco's which were both exceptionally good. Our service was wonderful.

    Bombay gin and tonic.

    Just stopped by for a drink and Lune was welcome. Had a chat with the Lone customer at the bar, he had two different color eyes. Freaky! The drink was good the view was great with the plastic sheet windows rolled up, but old people are cold. Great bar staff and Lune got petted by everyone who met him.

    Very cute on the water place. Food was good. Service was great. Received our food quickly and the place was very busy. 4 stars due to this location is all outside and it was sweltering hot outside. I sat in the back corner & when the fishing boat came in on the other side of the wooden fence & sprayed of, I got over spray. Glad I was done eating at that time.

    beautiful, simple, tasty Key West Tacos

    I live in Las Vegas but try to get to Largo every two months or so to visit my parents. I always like a day to myself wandering around Tarpon Springs. I can't remember if I first happened upon Dock's this past March or June, but ever since I always include a visit to Dock's. Sometimes just to listen to the great live music when available and have a glass of wine, sometimes to have Key West tacos, sometimes just to nosh and nibble on whatever I feel like at that moment. It's on the water, casual, no frills, don't be looking for maitre'd service, but friendly people and a great place for my wants and needs. It's Tuesday, I'm sad because Mom passed away since my last visit. And today there is no live music to cheer me up. But I am still happy sitting here in the sun, eating Key West tacos and enjoying everyones' good positive vibes during a difficult season. Thanks, Dock's! and special thanks to Courtney for the great service, hope you get a diamond for Christmas *only 4 stars because I wish they had one alternative to crappy house Chardonnay. Perhaps not justified only for my wants, I'm only here every few months... and "eeuuww, no more crappy wine" said I, NEVER

    The parents wanted fish before leaving to go back home to Ky…read more It had been a minute since we had eaten here so why not? This place was GREAT! Corey was our server and he was the best! Very helpful answering all of our questions and even making suggestions. 3 of us got the Fish and Chips (2 of us shared 1 meal) and the other got the Captains Feast. The Fish and Chips is more than enough food for to feed 1 person. 2 Large pieces of flounder, fries, and slaw. Very fresh and crispy! (We had enough left over for my lunch the next day) The Captains Feast grilled, was also very fresh! Flounder, Scallops, Shrimp, Crab cake, and he ordered chips and slaw as a side. I would definitely suggest going and I know we will stop in for dinner again very soon. See u Soon!

    I wish I could give 5 stars because the food and our waiter, Jake, were fantastic. However, even…read morewith our 5:45pm reservation "with handicap accessibility" noted, we were told by the belligerent hostess that we would need to sit at a high top or wait 1 hour. I told her to look at my mom and that I would not be doing that. She just said, "well that's the only options you have, I can't hold tables." "Well what is the point of a reservation with notes?" I replied. She proceeded to blame the other host and said "she didn't see anything and couldn't help, we would just need to wait." So I said "that's unacceptable." And when she replied again that she"couldn't do anything." I said "well let's talk to a manager then, because I'm not lifting my mom into one of those chairs." So she stormed off and the manager immediately apologized and said she would fix it while the hostess said I was yelling at her. Unbelievable. I just think the hostess needs a different job. I have never experienced someone so argumentative and rude as a hostess. Then I come here and read comments and clearly she is working a lot and ruining this awesome restaurants reputation. Give her a new job before you lose more customers!
